My wife and I are members of - religious stamps association -

but recently one Sunday...

Poem about beautiful sunsets and the journey of life.

Spent all day walking on the beautiful powdery white beach. Picking
up oceans treasures, scallop shells calico in colors rich and diverse,
conch, coral, cockel, Sand dollar, sea biscuit,...

Said a Cod to a wise old Eel,
I would like to know how you feel?
Though people snack on dips,
Lots more eat fish and chips.
They say it has great meal appeal!

Said the Eel to the wise...

I begin again 
on the same path I take every day, 
past the familiar fences, hedges 
and duck under the same
sag of overhanging trees. 
Past the house 
with the sociopathic dog,
the cottage still hung
with christmas...

Kilroy Was Here, etched in sand on the shore
Waves wash over the inscription till it’s seen no more
The sea crashes over castles built by children at play
To commemorate a beautiful day.
It’s my fault, too.

Myths and legends have held the hearts spell bound for years
Mermaids, mythical animals, phoenix's have kept us enraptured in childhood
One of granny's tales was of an ocean high above the Himalayas
Hanging in mid air like...

Occasionally, I arouse an unaccountable dislike
Even from those who love me
I don't give any reasons, none at all.
Maybe that's a reason.
But then why don't I dislike them?
I have no desire for perfection at all
It might...

My “honey” with chestnuts will not come for Christmas,
It’s life, you have to enjoy yourself anyway
once a year, 

New Year’s menu to enjoy at the time you like,

Foie gras with a glass of Monbazillac,
Snails with...

What good is it, to complicate flesh and bone you've yet to know?
 To paint portrait a brain only seeing the mask-y Face, 
It is a canvas that is sure to lie.
 What use is...

Floating  Market on the River

A Thailand tradition 
Large sun umbrellas 
And boat roofs or hoods
And Asian conical hats
A bucket of cracked brown egg shells 

A grandma quickly whips up 
Egg, oyster and fresh, crisp...

Somewhere in the wind
Rattling the song “Buzzy empty lane”
Hovering the small settlements
With so many loves and romances

The shady banyan tree
Exuding the cool shade
And the flower-laden milkwood 
Infusing the night 
With heavenly fragrance

passersby
Oh, passerby who would...

In all her glory, dawn has burst forth,
With a slight glow of early morning brightness

Night thunder arrives. Occult spacecraft descend,
hurl giant underbellies of sound downward -
climactic events galvanize grouting and glass.

The next boom is distant, yet lightning streaks
across closed eyes.
Backyard bones are starkly illuminated,
perhaps even scorched?
An astral mythology shakes...

Looking their best this spring flower,

A vision of sublime beauty and fragrance,

Evokes all of our senses by the hour.

The Lady in Red climbing rose,

Newly sprung in blazing red climbs,

Weaving itself on a wooden trellis.

Its unique...

The sun washed sands along the beach
hid ocean gifts in drifting swells
and tides would wash within my reach
a bounty of abandoned shells.

I'd walked those shores in search of all
the endless wonders I would find,
collecting trinkets,...

 of bright comfort  bathing in the brilliant sunshine. Quote _ by Poet

Night thunder arrives.  Occult spacecraft descend,
hurl giant underbellies of sound downward.
Climactic events galvanize grouting.

The next boom is distant,
other places are scorched or illuminated 
by quixotic hosts -
you never know with astral mythology.

The crackling of...

Your falling, through the clouds
White velvet strokes your skin
Weightless, wondering..wistful

He wanted to go and catch scallops
gets into a boat called a shallops*
He didn’t look at the time
And had committed a crime
It’s into the court he now gallops

Five thousand pounds he’s now got to pay

Coney Island
And your windswept hair
Reminds me
Of Aphrodite
Rising from the platinum waves

Love is flowering
In my anemone heart 
Do you suppose it 
Mere folly
To think this mere mortal could:

Kiss your sensual dolphin lips?
Nibble here and there
On your...

The scallop of outer rim has uncanny shapes
It exist in outer universal landscapes
The murmur that it makes as in spirit it drapes
It is a sonnet of glory of increased phase to which it escapes

All I want to know is
Do I have a distinctive voice?
Standing out in a crowd
Mic in hand, choice

Of song, how important
To hear and be heard
We must be privileged
Do you eat your scallop with beard?
